I created this blog to chronicle my progress on the P90X fitness program. If my experience helps you out that is great but like most things I do I have selfish reasons. I figure if I blog my progress here and distribute this to various people then I am less likely to cheat or not complete the program.
Since I did P90X this has evolved into more of a general fitness blog but may still be useful to some. The P90X stuff is still here but lately I am doing crossfit.

Changed it up today

We changed up our workout this morning and it kicked my ass. I originally intended to do 3 circuits of the following but only did 2 in 14:40. I will try to get the third one in as well on Wednesday, we shall see. My shoulders and calves are pretty sore today.

10 jump squats

10 dips

10 burpees with a push up

1 minute plank

10 pull ups ( I only did 9 and 8 today though)

20 steam engines

10 Romanian deadlifts on each leg

10 pike press push ups

We followed this up with 3 sets of the following circuit doing each exercise to failure each times.

long arm crunch

heels to the heavens

in & outs

Russian twists

I then finished up with an interval high intensity run/walk combination with 1 minute on :55 off for 10 rounds. This was a 5 second drop in my rest time and I felt pretty good. My legs are pretty sore but the shorter time did not bother me. I will try to keep dropping the rest over time to get it down to at least :30.
